MS NOW Host Calls Out 'Disgusting And Ridiculous' Claims About Fatal ICE Shooting
HuffPost
"Morning Brief" host Jen Psaki on Friday examined footage allegedly captured by the shooter himself.
MS NOW host Jen Psaki on Friday called out President Donald Trump and his administration over the “disgusting and ridiculous” claim that Renee Nicole Good, who was killed by an immigration agent in Minnesota earlier this week, was a “domestic terrorist.”
Psaki showed footage of the incident allegedly captured by the shooter himself, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross, on his phone. She said “the right” has seized on this video to claim it “somehow vindicates” Ross.
“They claim that because the shooter appears to fumble his camera, and because you can hear a loud noise, that this video must be evidence that Renee Good ran over or hit the agent with her car,” said Psaki. “That is what they have been blasting everywhere.”
She continued, “But if you look at all of the evidence we have seen so far, that does not appear to be the case. Because so many people were filming this incident when it happened, we have a lot of footage that captured the scene from very different angles.”
In the video, Ross approaches Good’s vehicle, which was partially blocking a road. Good tells him, “That’s fine, dude, I’m not mad at you.” As Good’s wife, who is out of the car, confronts him, he circles the vehicle and eventually stands in front of it.
"Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor," Renee Good's wife wrote. "That has been taken from me forever."
